Would you rather play 17 at Sawgrass or 12 at Augusta?

[MarkT]

If you were to play one of these par 3s which would it be? And it's only a one-hole offer..

I'd probably get my money's worth on both but the prospect of rummaging around the undergrowth at 12 would tip it for me

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Sawgrass. I'd rather play the full 18 there than Augusta anyway but I love the drama of the 17th. It's an all or nothing hole, that is exciting

Both are wonderful holes, I would not criticise either of them

How many balls do I get?

Augusta please! Thanks GM what a great prize can’t wait, let me know when my private jet is fuelled up. ?

Being down in that hollow with the azaleas in full bloom, got tingles in me golf bits.

Sawgrass is undeniably cool. If you’ve ever played the par 3 course at Rudding Park they have a “replica” which from the back tees is still shorter but it’s all miniaturised. Good craic if you’re in the area it’s only 6 holes so u nip around in no time while the misses is having coffee or whatever they do when we’re not there

Augusta....as I've played Sawgrass! (The usual operators do a week at the Sawgrass Marriott - 2 round on each course - not a expensive as you might think!! )

There is a replica ish of 17 at Sawgrass at Pinheiros Altos in Portugal. Small peninsula green, about 140 ish. Easy birdie, so in my head, I have already played it.

Sawgrass 17th is just so iconic, the island green. And it's the shorter one of the two.

 

[Bdill93]

12th at Augusta for sure - too much room for fault at Sawgrass for me!

Unbelievably I hit the green first time iirc, my mate dunked two in the pond though ?

Where did the ball go?

 

[IanM]

Where did the ball go?

Day one, middle of the green! 2 putt par. Next day, in the bunker and holed a flukey long one for a 3. Maybe I won't go back as sure to mess up the record....

It's one of my random irritations, but it isn't an island. They keep calling it that, but it would need a boat, or a bridge, which it doesn't have. It's a peninsular.

Well if we’re being that picky it’s a peninsula ?

It has a bridge to it, but the bridge is made out of land.

Fortunate to play to a very picturesque island par 3 at the local course, so 12th at Augusta for me pls

 

[davidy233]

Sawgrass needs a clown face and a windmill IMO - so it's Augusta for me - one of the great par 3s

 

[Ethan]

The 12th at Augusta is a massively better hole with a variety of challenges. The 17th at Sawgrass is a novelty hole. Funny enough, I have played a course link in Maryland which had replica versions of both.

 

[Imurg]

I've always said that the 17th at Sawgrass is a very " manufactured" hole, built for spectator viewing rather than it being a good golf hole.
The 12that Augusta has always been one of my favourites
It just has so much more about it the the 17th, more potential outcomes, potentially more variety of shots required

Sums it up perfectly for me.
